Chapter 72"Any news from Oakland mountain?" the director said to Natasha as he entered the office. "nothing yet sir." Natasha replied. "nothing at all? Even from the command centre over there?" He asked again with a frown on his face. "other than when the mission commenced, nothing yet." she affirmed. "what was reported initially?""They informed us of the commencement of the mission and also that the last S class talented, didn't show." she recounted. "So it's just the two of them, hmm. Try getting in contact with them and ask for an update on the mission.""Right away sir." she got up and then left for the communications room.The chairman was left alone in the room and he had his hand on his chin.'it's unlike them not to send regular updates, especially for a big mission such as this one. Did something happened?' he asked himself.He went to his chair and sat down as Mr waited for Natasha to bring news of the mission progress.****"ohhhhh, it's about to get interesting" t

Chapter 74Maverick got on his feet and was breathing heavily and feeling exhausted as he watched the site of the explosion and the razing fire that was burning without remorse. There were no visible signs of the monster still being alive, he looked around and couldn't find anything.Maverick wasn't the only one watching and searching, so were Exoda and Dominus. When Exoda was certain the monster was no more, she fell to the ground to sit on it in relief as she struggled to comfort herself because of her wounds. Dominus just stood there watching as well with a lot on his mind. What plaques his mind was the mystery that is Maverick and how he was able to pull off the feats he saw him doing. 'Ordinarily, I had thought it was just Jiren who was hiding his abilities to stay away from the fighting and was just revealing them when he began clearing portals all on his own. But now what is it with Maverick? This was No doubt an S class monster, there is no way in hell he'd be able to stand

Chapter 76Maverick woke up the following morning and he couldn't just shake off the weird feeling he was having. 'Come find us?' he kept repeating in his head trying to understand what it meant and why he was even thinking about it. "Another weird dream" he sighs and then got out of bed to take his bath. "I'll find answers in the portal" he repeated again, finding some truth in the statement.'I really need answers, perhaps I should enter the portal and find out.''System, what do you think?' he asked the system.""I'd discourage it. The portal is a harsh place for any human to live in. You'd find Nothing but monsters there, and what's the guarantee you can get out if you eventually get it."" After a slight pause, the system replied. And its response completely discouraged Maverick."You are right. I shouldn't jump head first to my own death" Maverick concluded. After taking his bath, he came out of his room and to the common room in the bureau where some other talenteds were ga

Chapter 78Natasha when she arrived at the facility for portal detection she asked him any new portals have opened up but they told her there have been none."What do you mean none?" she asked again, refusing to believe their answers. "There have been no new portals in this region under the last hour. And all other portals have people there regulating it. So no-one goes in without authorization from here." The official in charge there answered her. "Check again." she insisted, now angry. "We have, and nothing have changed" the person replied her again. Natasha stormed out of the facility very anger and frustrated that she has been unable to find Maverick so far.She took out her phone and immediately called someone. "Brian, anything yet?" she asked. "Nothing yet. I'm in his house presently and there's nothing out of place." Brian answered her. "Check properly, there must be something." she said."Nothing here, although he left his phone behind and it looks like he left his room

CHAPTER 80Maverick was still confused as to what was going on in the underground layer of the place he currently was. Despite his confusion, he was still on alert so that he would not be caught off guard. The place began rumbling again, now shaking more than it was when he was at the surface of the island.‘Just what is happening?’ He asked himself incessantly, like he could somehow provide answers to the question himself. But he could only think of two things; the growing ice spikes or monsters coming.His suspicions were affirmed when multiple ice protrusions emerged from the ground just beneath his feet. He could not fly like before since he was underground and there was no room above for him to do that. So he just had to run away as quickly as he could to avoid being impaled from the ground. Luckily, he was S class and was faster than the spikes.Just as the rumbling continued he began hearing the sound of monsters approaching his location, to his greatest surprise. ‘Monsters too
